DCRJ's not IMPRESSED with FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR. Win Over JUAN MANUEL MARQUEZ

Photobucket
This is like Deja Vu for JMM. Juan Manuel Marquez getting decked in the 2nd Round by Pretty Boy Floyd.

Undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr. may have beaten Juan Manuel Marquez yesterday but his victory was shamefully tainted with weight issues during their weigh-in. Floyd carelessly weighed-in at 2 lbs. excess of their agreed 144 lbs catch weight. The naturally bigger Floyd dwarfed the Mexican, a natural lightweight, thus having an unfair advantage by Floyd. In fact, he wanted to pay the $600,000 penalty rather than treating the Mexican with respect. Unable to adjust to his new weight, Juan Manuel Marquez was an easy target for the faster Floyd.

Here are my thoughts why Juan Manuel Marquez lose

1. JMM lacks lateral head movement, he just doesn't have the head angle movement that would confused Floyd's targeting prowess. Manny Pacquiao has that head angle movement which would be an inconvenience for Floyd.

2. JMM doesn't have an angular surprise attack in his arsenal. In order to confuse your opponent, one should have an angular surprise attack, an attack that won't let your opponent know where it will be coming from. JMM did a monotonous surprise attack which seems predictable for Floyd. Again, Manny Pacquiao's has a numerous arsenal of angular attacks.

3. JMM has no timing. Whenever JMM manages to deliver head shots Floyd just smiled at him while JMM just looks at him, if that were Manny Pacquiao a surprise follow-up shot will be given to that stupid grimace of Floyd...it's all about timing, catching your opponent unaware. JMM lacks that.

4. JMM has no punching power. His punches seems to bounce-off Floyd's silly face. Manny Pacquiao has tremendous punching power. Period.

5. JMM hasn't adjusted to his new found weight. During the fight I could see JMM's flabs. Actually JMM has more flabs than muscles while Floyd has chiseled ones that could almost explode. Manny Pacquiao has better chiseled muscles which is similar to Bruce Lee's while Floyd has chiseled muscles like a rap musician...so who do you think is better ? a chiseled muscle like Bruce Lee or a chiseled muscle like a rap singer ? I thought so too.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. manages to uphold his self-proclaimed title as Pretty Boy Floyd. After the JMM fight, there's not even a scratch seen over his face. That's what Floyd manages to do best, by avoiding getting hit in the face. I would like to see Manny Pacquiao mess up his face in the future, I'm pretty sure he would be able to erase that 'pretty boy' off his label. 'Pity boy' would be appropriate after that.

MOYMOY PALABOY & ROADFILL Sings Live 'ANGELINA' in SOP - Sept. 20, 2009

Moymoy Palaboy & Roadfill are now in a different level in the local entertainment. You thought they could only do lipsynching of popular tunes which made them an internet sensation. That perception changed after the release of their DVD album 'Uploaded' last March 2009 where you can hear their real singing voices.

Yesterday I recorded their singing with Nonito Donaire Jr. in Celebrity Duets which added a voting advantage to contender Nonito Donaire, Jr. because a judge praised their performance, now they did a song number with their real singing voices in SOP and it was surprisingly entertaining.

Here's Moymoy & Roadfill doing a rendition of the classic 'Angelina' with their real singing voices aired today Sept. 20, 2009. 'Angelina' in promotion of Yaya & Angelina: The Spoiled Brat Movie to be shown in local cinemas starring Michael V. and Ogie Alcasid.

JEEPNEY TOURS - New Way To Rediscovering MANILA

Photobucket

You can't say that you've been to Manila if you haven't had the chance to ride the cultural icon of the Philippines, the jeepney!

The jeepney is a unique transportation that can only be found in the Philippines. It was originally made from the US military jeeps that were left to the Filipinos after World War II. With great Filipino ingenuity, the body was remodeled by adding some metal roofs and decorating it with vibrant colors. It has rapidly emerged as a creative and popular means of public transportation. Tagged as the “King of the Road,” it has become an enduring symbol of Philippine pop culture.

Hence, the introduction of the concept of “Jeepney Tours,” a breakthrough in Philippine tourism that offers convenient and daily sightseeing tours to travelers staying in five-star hotels who wish to explore the best of Manila. Its main objective is to leave a positive image of the Philippines with every single ride.

The tours will take the travelers on a fascinating tour of the historical and vibrant city of Manila onboard a custom-built air-conditioned jumbo jeepney which can easily seat 20 people. A tour facilitator will join the passengers for the whole duration of the tour to point out interesting landmarks and give you brief backgrounds on the places that are visited.

Stuck in Manila traffic? Fret not! There is a videoke system onboard to keep the guests entertained on the way back. The jeepney has a cooler for storing cold bottled drinks to keep the guests refreshed and hydrated at all times.

Photobucket

Jeepney Tours is an essential introduction to Manila in a fun and informative way and it links the travelers to the main attractions of the city. It is a perfect gift that can be offered to visiting friends and colleagues to experience all the magical sights and sounds of Manila in an entertaining, comfortable, and secure environment.

"Jeepney Tours is a tourism breakthrough that we are extremely proud of. Despite all the challenges, our profound commitment to the tourism industry fueled us to develop a major tourism infrastructure that transports the tourists to a day filled with fascinating experiences, a day packed with cultural learning and beautiful memories that will make them remember the Philippines at its best,” says Clang Garcia, managing director of Jeepney Tours.

Photobucket

Jeepney Tours can be booked at major five-star hotels with Thematic Tours (listed below) to choose from:

1. Intramuros: A Cultural Heritage Tour
Metro Manila is the urban capital of the Philippines. Comprised of several bustling cities, it is the country’s bastion of modernity and cosmopolitan appeal. Manila is the premier gateway to any destination in the country. It serves its own menu of attractions and activities. Visit Manila and walk the walls of the old historical town of Intramuros and find out for yourself why it is hailed as one of the best preserved medieval cities in the world.

2. Spa and Shopping Spree
Travelers can indulge in purely pleasurable activities as they treat themselves to one fine day in Manila—one of the greatest spa and shopping destinations in Asia! From power spending down to flea market bargaining, one will never run out of options while exploring the malls of Manila, the uncontested shopper’s paradise. Tourists can pamper their body after a day of discoveries as they unwind and get the treatment they deserve amidst a relaxing atmosphere of a serene spa. What an exciting way to spend a day in the city!

3. Sunset Cocktail Cruise
Manila Bay is known for its captivating sunset. An extraordinary sight to behold because of the different play of colors decorating the sky. Before sailing away to the cruise, tourists will enjoy a sightseeing tour of Manila en route to the Manila Bay harbor where they will board a yacht to experience a memorable ride with their loved ones. Onboard, guests may explore the wide docks of the yacht, and after watching the sun go down, different wines and beverages will be served as guests enjoy the sea breeze of the cool night. Perfect for couples looking for a special romantic setting, the Sunset Cocktail Cruise is an ideal affair to remember.

It is also a haven for people who want to experience the leisurely pace of the countryside. Start off your day with an English breakfast followed by a tour of a wine cellar. Then enjoy an Ultra-Light Flying experience, a sumptuous lunch and a rejuvenating spa treatment. Welcome and have a good day! "Makusuelong pamagbisita keni Pampanga."

5. The Charm of Tagaytay
Tagaytay is the perfect day trip destination outside Manila. A scenic drive to the countryside treats the traveler’s eye to sights of pineapple plantations, colorful fruit stands, flowers in bloom, ridges, and mountains swathed in green and a breathtaking view of the famous Taal Volcano, the world’s smallest volcano.

THEME PARK Rising in TAGUM CITY, DAVAO DEL NORTE, PHILIPPINES

Photobucket


TAGUM CITY – An eco-tourism park patterned after the Windows of the World theme park in China is being developed in a semi-forested area here by the city government.

Covering 48 hectares, the Windows of the World in the industrial city of Shenzhen is known for its replicas of over a hundred world landmarks.

Cromwell Bonghanoy, city information officer, said the “premier eco-tourism destination” was being built over a 65-hectare area in Barangay (village) San Agustin.

Bonghanoy said clearing operations have already started in at least 10 hectares of the park, which is about five kilometers from the city center.

“The eco-tourism park will feature cable car rides and restaurants overlooking a vast expanse of lush trees,” he said.

Bonghanoy said the idea came following Mayor Rey Uy’s visit to China early this year.

“Being the family-oriented person that he is, Mayor Uy wants to give TagumeƱos good places for them to have their recreation,” he said.

Considered a big project, Bonghanoy said the city government expected the San Agustin Eco-Tourism Park to be completed in three to five years.

FREDDIE ROACH Confirms MANNY PACQUIAO SLANDER CASE Against FLOYD MAYWEATHER SR.



Recently, Mayweather Sr went on the record and accused the pound for pound king, Manny Pacquiao of taking illegal steroids. In response to these allegations,, Roach said, " All of the sudden Floyd Mayweather Sr is an expert on steroids? Tell me what kind of steroids Manny is taking Floyd? Tell me how much you know about steroids, first of all. Steroids had nothing to do with the perfect right hand that Manny landed on your fighter, because you didn't teach him how to get out of the way."

Roach is infuriated with these allegations, and goes on to say, " That same punch that we landed on your fighter, is the same one that we'll land on your son, and we'll pass a drug test because we don't take drugs, we don't believe in drugs, and we don't need drugs!"

Roach confirms slander case in the works.

"I am going to talk to my lawyer, there could be a slander case here, and we will sue him. I talked to Manny, and I talked to an attorney, and we are all on board here. This is all over the place now that Manny is on steroids, it's defaming his name."

Roach BLASTS Mayweather

"Get a flghter Floyd, and you will ruin him too. He ruined Ricky Hatton, Ricky was so much better than before Mayweather Sr got him. Not the best trainer, I think Floyd is the F*#@ worst trainer in the world!"

To BOXING FANS, LET'S BOYCOTT the MAYWEATHER-MARQUEZ SEPTEMBER 19 Fight


By Greg R. Penilla, M.D.
PhilBoxing.com
Wed, 16 Sep 2009

The repetitive blows to the head of Floyd Mayweather Sr. have inevitably mashed his brain. The speech impediment is an obvious sign. It will not be surprising that in future TV interviews, there will be subtitles to help viewers understand him.

Even before the very first hit to his head, Floyd Sr, was not expected to articulate a scholarly dissertation but with his recent accusation that Manny Pacquiao is using a performance enhancing substance clearly shows that his intellectual capacity has reached nadir. There are no more neurons left to exercise any rational thought process. The space between his ears has become a vast wasteland akin to the day after a nuclear blast.

But is it really just the blows to the head? Or is it in the DNA. Even the most level- headed of the Mayweathers, Jeff, seems to give credence to the outrageous allegation.

If there is any performance enhancing substance Pacquiao is taking, it must be the world infamous balut. No need to explain, just Google it.

The Mayweathers are hitting below the belt. Boxing fans and specially the formidable Pacquiao fans worldwide, the Mayweathers can be hit where it hurts the most, the pocketbook.

Just say no to September 19.

FREDDIE ROACH: "It's WHITE RICE & MALUNGGAY Leaves, not Steroids that Makes MANNY PACQUIAO STRONG"

Freddie Roach says it is white rice and not steroids that make Manny Pacquiao strong. Also the 'malunggay' leaves in Manny's dishes that makes him stronger.

Floyd Mayweather Sr. accuses Manny Pacquiao of taking substances or power enhancing drugs particularly steroids in the Grand Rapids video interview (posted in the Pinoy Biscuits earlier).

Freddie Roach has also said that Manny Pacquiao was blood tested twice for substances and Manny hasn't tested positive yet.

Also in the video, San Diego Padres declared Manny Pacquiao Day

FLOYD MAYWEATHER SR. Accuses MANNY PACQUIAO of Taking STEROIDS

Once again loud mouth Floyd Mayweather, Sr. insults and disrespects Manny Pacquiao as a person, his skills and talent as a boxer and accuses the Filipino of taking steroids. No wonder Freddie Roach has no respect for this nincompoop.

Floyd Sr. and Jr., got the same arrogance over their head, like father like son. I see jealousy in their midst. Jealousy is bound to happen when a man they get jealous of becomes successful.

Floyd Mayweather Sr. still can't accept the fact that he looked bad as a trainer when his ward Ricky Hatton got knocked out in the 2nd round by Manny Pacquiao. C'mon now Floyd Sr., don't be a spoiled sport.

Celebrities in Memoriam: Remembering PATRICK SWAYZE



Another famous celebrity died this year. Patrick Swayze, star of 'Dirty Dancing' and 'Ghost', died today at age 57.

2009 seems to be the year of passing of famous celebrities. David Carradine, Dom DeLuise (Canonball Run), Farrah Fawcett, Ed McMahon, James Whitmore, John Hughes (Home Alone), Karl Malden (Streets of San Francisco), Pat Hingle (Cocoon), Ricardo Montalban (Fantasy Island), Ron Silver (Baddie from 'Time Cop'), Michael Jackson and Ted Kennedy. Even in the Philippine local scene, a number of Pinoy celebrities died in 2009 such as Francis Magalona, Erano Manalo and Corazon Aquino.

I amusingly remember an emotional scene in 'Red Dawn' when Patrick Swayze burst into tears along with some nose discharge that formed into a bubble. Same thing happened to an emotional scene in a different Patrick Swayze movie of which clouded the title in my mind.

I remember watching 'Ghost' with my ex-girlfriend in 1990, the movie brought tears to my eyes particularly at the ending when Patrick says goodbye to Demi Moore. 'Time Of My Life' happens to be the theme song with another ex-girlfriend of mine, it's from the movie 'Dirty Dancing' circa 1987. I also remember Patrick Swayze's song 'She's Like the Wind' in the same movie which oftentimes played in romantic radio stations here in the Philippines.

I also remember Patrick Swayze's cool dance moves in 'Dirty Dancing' with Joel Grey's daughter Jennifer, a dance move that's on par, alright...not Fred Astaire but, with a Gene Kelly dance number. A not so popular Patrick Swayze movie 'Road House' came also to my mind with its explicit sex scenes in it.

I also remember a Francis Ford Coppola movie 'The Outsider' in which Patrick Swayze plays the leader of the Greaser gang.

And who couldn't forget 'Unchained Melody' that was played prominently in the early part of the 1990s specially here in romantic-mode Philippines due to the tremendous part of the Patrick Swayze/Demi Moore starrer 'Ghost'

Patrick Swayze made movies that are indelible in our memories and a memorable song 'She's Like The Wind' making the month of February in a love mode. RIP Patrick Swayze, you'll always be remembered.

DCRJ's MOVIE REVIEWS: DISTRICT 9

Photobucket

Prior to watching 'District 9', I had a feeling that I won't be able to enjoy the movie, in fact I had already planned on taking a nap over this movie. The only reason that attracted me to this movie is that it has something to do with Peter Jackson (as producer) whom I admired for his directorial work in 'The Lord of the Rings' Trilogy and 'King Kong'. Surprisingly enough I was dead wrong. The film was superb in terms of action, plot and emotional impact.

Action-wise, it was a blast seeing Alien weapons debut in a way that's seen in video games like 'Doom' series, 'Unreal Tournament', 'Quake' series and 'Halo'. There's enough blood-splatterings, head explosions here that would make John Rambo quiver. The movie is rated R. Video gamers will get a thrill to see a 'Mechwarrior' like robot manned by a genetically mutated human.

Plot-wise, it's an intriguing story where aliens from outer space treated by humans as dirt reflected as slur in discriminating fashion. Aliens were stranded for 20 years with a motionless mothership hovering above in a part of Johannesberg, South Africa which the military calls it 'District 9'. Humans derogatively calls them 'Prawns' because they got a shrimp-like face.

Emotional impact-wise, the film is inventive and intelligent with documentary-style interviews incorporated with CNN news-reporting style presented as exclusive video footage resonating a similar style done by Paul Verhoeven in 'Starship Troopers' and 'Robocop'. The film is a whole new genre not seen in already establshed sci-fi films. The film has elements of a 'John Rambo', 'Aliens' and a slight touch of 'E.T.'

Photobucket

'District 9' is the smashing directorial debut of Neill Blomkamp which makes him a soon-to-be icon in the league of Peter Jackson, James Cameron, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas.

The main character is Wikus Van De Merwe (Sharlto Copley), an annoyingly half-witted bureaucrat who was chosen by the MNU (Multi National Union) to get signatures from the Prawns for relocation which in turn gets splashed in the face with a black liquid slowly transforming him into a genetically unique specie. A specie, so unique, transforming the character from a carelessly dumb-witted fool to a reluctant action hero and this is where the fun begins.

Hoping that there would be a sequel, 'District 10' perhaps? This is slam-bang action movie magic at its best. 'District 9' is a fine addition to the collection of superb sci-fi films.

My rating: 5 out of 5 Biscuits !

'MANNY SHAQUIAO' vs. Oscar Dela Hoya in ABC-TV's 'SHAQ Vs'


Four-time NBA champion Shaquille O' Neal stepped inside the boxing ring and faced 6-division world boxing champion Oscar De la Hoya in ABC's TV show "Shaq Vs" which aired on Sept. 8, 2009 at 9pm.

Entering the ring, O' Neal went by the alias "Manny Shaquiao" and was accompanied by the trainer of the real Manny Pacquiao, Freddie Roach. De la Hoya on the other hand had his business partner and former light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins.

Here's a video courtesy of TMZ



It further solidified Manny Pacquiao's status as a legitimate pop icon. Who would have thought a decade a ago that Shaquille O' Neal would step in the ring paying tribute to a little man from the Philippines by donning a moniker based on him?

NBA LEGENDS vs. PBA LEGENDS (NBA Asia Challenge 2009) on 9/11 at the Araneta Coliseum, PHILIPPINES

WHEN a team of National Basketball Association (NBA) Hall of Famers and greats backstopped by Developmental League players come to the Philippines to play their counterparts in the NBA Asia Challenge 2009 at the Araneta Coliseum on September 11, Robert Horry wants the ball in his hands if the exhibition match comes down to the final shot.

The former Houston Rocket, Phoenix Sun, Los Angeles Laker and San Antonio Spur who won seven titles with three teams in a 16-year career will be celebrating his 39th birthday on August 25. He will join Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who will coach this team, Tim Hardaway, Dominique Wilkins and Vlade Divac in the largest NBA event in the Philippines. The Dunking Divas and Sly, the Silver Fox mascot of the New Jersey Nets, will also be on hand for the day’s entertainment.

The Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) All-Stars will find Ronnie Magsanoc, Allan Caidic, Alvin Patrimonio and Benjie Paras in action once more. “We will show the NBA how powerful we are,” joked PBA commissioner Renauld “Sonny” Barrios, who said last season’s Mythical Five Selection could also suit up for the event.

MANNY PACQUIAO's Last Day for Showbiz, will start training for MIGUEL COTTO Fight - Sept. 7, 2009

It will be the last shooting day for the Pacman tomorrow Sept. 8, 2009 and after that he will start training for his upcoming fight against Puerto Rico's Miguel Cotto in Nov. 14, 2009.

Manny Pacquiao is still finishing all his showbiz commitments. Manny had just finished two movies 'Wapakman' and 'Pangarap Kong Jackpot' and on his last day of taping of the season one of the TV sit-com 'Show Me Da Manny'.

I just hope Manny Pacquiao knows what he's doing and doesn't put his upcoming fight lightly, Miguel Cotto isn't a pushover and the man from Puerto Rico means business because he has been training for a month now while the Pacman is busy making movies.

DCRJ's MOVIE REVIEWS: IMAX UNDER THE SEA 3D

Photobucket

We saw 'UNDER THE SEA 3D' at the Imax theater in SM Mall of Asia yesterday, Sunday Sept. 6, 2009. A breathtaking array of sea creatures found in the Coral Triangle (Indonesian area) and the Great Barrier Reef (Australia). What's even more mesmerizing is the true-to-life visual wonder of an Imax 3D.

'UNDER THE SEA 3D' narrated by comedian/actor Jim Carrey who never loses his sense of humor, subtly found in some scenes, in this serious film. It's also an educational film which chronicles the dying of the coral reefs due to the increased in CO2 of global warming. The combination of colorful mosaic of sea creatures and corals and the destruction of their living habitats will give you an awareness that will strike you deep.

The theme song at the end is an upbeat and wonderful version of the Beatles' OCTOPUS'S GARDEN (Composed by Ringo Starr) sang by a Doris Day-like voice. Truly magical but only an hour long film.

Price at the Imax theater is P250 per person. Bring your whole family, you won't regret it and your family will thank you for it.

My Rating : 5 out of 5 Biscuits !

Bonus movie preview is James Cameron's much-awaited sci-fi film AVATAR. This film has amazing visuals and the CGI seems to integrate with the live actors. AVATAR is coming in Imax 3D this December 2009.

Yam Laranas' THE ECHO to be shown in Philippine Movie Theaters on Sept. 23, 2009 but not in the U.S.

Photobucket
'The Echo' movie standup as seen in the movie hallway of the SM Mall of Asia

Yam Laranas' THE ECHO, a remake of 'Sigaw', will finally be released in Philippine movie theaters on Sept. 23, 2009. But the film won't be shown in U.S. theaters but will be released directly to DVD and Blu-Ray on November 10, 2009.

It's quite disheartening that it won't be seen in U.S. theaters. I was expecting the film to make it big in the U.S. box office similar to the hit remake 'The Ring'.

excerpts from a news article...


US theatrical release

When Yam finished the film’s post-production, the US theatrical release seemed imminent. But the wait turned into months. Fans and readers of Yam’s blog began asking: “When?” In the meantime, “The Echo” was shown to potential distributors at the Cannes Film Market in May last year. In July, also last year, the film was screened at Fantasia, the Montreal, Canada fantasy and genre film festival. Last May, “The Echo” got its first international theatrical release in South Korea.


Photobucket


Amazon.com is now offering a pre-order price guarantee of $24.99 for each copy of “The Echo” on DVD or Blu-ray. The package art shows a girl with menacing looking eyes behind a door engulfed in flames. It virtually screams that this is a horror movie. We would have preferred the teaser poster that Yam posted on his blog, the one showing Jesse Bradford listening into a wall with a girl ominously appearing by a door in the background. It captures the quietly eerie and therefore more suspenseful mood that Yam was probably aiming for in “The Echo” (and which he effectively did in “Sigaw”).

We’re happy that “The Echo” will get a theatrical release in the Philippines. Even with the movie’s release on disc in November, we think many Filipinos would still want to experience “The Echo” on the big screen. In an e-mail interview, Yam pointed out: “The experience of seeing it on the big screen literally amplifies the scares. Although the mood of the film can be appreciated in any screen size, nothing beats the impact of the film inside a dark theater.”

As for what’s in store for moviegoers, especially those who saw and loved “Sigaw,” Yam said: “I think they will enjoy this new version. It is much scarier than the original. But fans of the original will also see that the original story line is intact. The mood and paranoia though is heightened in ‘The Echo.’”

On Iza, the filmmaker said: “I’ve always believed that Iza’s talent is world class. ‘The Echo’ is a testimony to that. She played her role with utmost commitment and sincerity. We are all proud of her.”

Yam explained about “The Echo” not getting a theatrical distribution in America: “The market has changed for all independently produced films. It all started in Cannes and the American Film Market and all the way to Sundance and Tribeca. Nobody was buying. We are among the casualties. There are also legal issues that our investor and distributor are trying to sort out. Yes, I feel bad about it but I need to see the realities of Hollywood. This is not a unique case and there are worse stories out there.”

Screenings abroad

On the movie’s distribution in other territories, he said: “As far as I know, there have been screenings in Russia, Bulgaria and Poland. The film will most likely be shown simultaneously in the Philippines and Southeast Asia since the prints come from Thailand. We are also set to be released theatrically soon in several countries in Europe.”

WALT DISNEY CO. Buys MARVEL ENTERTAINMENT INC.

Well, you may have heard by now about the biggest buzz right now...Disney buys Marvel for $4 Billion !

It's the kind of merger that would get DC Comics jealous and I am just happy about it. Anything Disney and anything Marvel are some of my favorite icons. Imagine seeing Wolverine, Spider-man, the Incredible Hulk, Captain America, Iron Man inside Disneyland theme parks. I am sure there would be a conflict of interests between theme parks of Disney and Universal Studios because some Marvel characters can be seen inside Universal Studios theme parks.

Photobucket

Some insiders say that Warner Bros. company who owns the DC character rights haven't done anything to push its DC characters to another level. I'd rather see Spider-man mingling with Mickey Mouse than Superman with Donald Duck. With the merger of Disney and Marvel expect wonders and amazing attractions to be unveiled in the future.

Disney buys Marvel for $4B

Spider-Man joins Mickey Mouse

By Chris Lefkow
Agence France-Presse
First Posted 07:28:00 09/01/2009

WASHINGTON – The Walt Disney Co. added "Spider-Man," "Iron Man" and the "X-Men" to its vast cast of characters on Monday with a surprise agreement to buy Marvel Entertainment Inc. for some $4 billion.

The deal, Disney's biggest since its acquisition of animation house Pixar three years ago, will combine the comic book giant and its huge stable of action heroes with the entertainment empire of Mickey Mouse.

"Adding Marvel to Disney’s unique portfolio of brands provides significant opportunities for long-term growth and value creation," Disney president and chief executive Robert Iger said. "We are pleased to bring this talent and these great assets to Disney."

Disney and Marvel, in a joint statement, said that Marvel shareholders would receive a total of $30 per share in cash plus approximately 0.745 Disney shares for each Marvel share they own.

It said that based on the closing price of Disney stock on Friday, the transaction value is $50 per Marvel share or approximately $4 billion.

Shares of Marvel soared 25.36 percent in New York and were trading at $48.45 near the close of trading. Disney shares were trading 2.61 percent lower at $26.14.

The deal, which caught analysts and the market by surprise, was announced shortly before the opening bell on Wall Street.

Besides "Spider-Man," "Iron Man" and the "X-Men," Marvel's cast of over 5,000 characters includes "Captain America," the "Fantastic Four" and "Thor."

Marvel chief executive Ike Perlmutter said Disney is "the perfect home for Marvel’s fantastic library of characters given its proven ability to expand content creation and licensing businesses.

"This is an unparalleled opportunity for Marvel to build upon its vibrant brand and character properties by accessing Disney’s tremendous global organization and infrastructure around the world," he said.

Disney and Marvel said Perlmutter would continue to oversee the Marvel properties, which include Marvel Studios, Marvel Animation and Marvel Comics.

Perlmutter will "work directly with Disney’s global lines of business to build and further integrate Marvel’s properties," their joint statement said.

Disney and Marvel said the boards of directors of both companies have approved the transaction but it still needs the green light from US anti-trust authorities and Marvel shareholders.

Iger said the companies hope to conclude the deal by the end of the year.

He compared the purchase of Marvel to Disney's 2006 acquisition of Pixar Animation for 7.4 billion dollars, saying it presents "similar opportunities."

Pixar is the San Francisco-area studio behind such hits such as "Toy Story," "A Bug's Life," "Finding Nemo," "Ratatouille," "WALL-E" and "Up."

The agreement drew a thumbs-up from most analysts.

"Strategically, we view Marvel as a good fit for Disney," said Hale Holden of Barclays Capital. "We expect Disney to drive synergies across the Marvel characters at its parks and cable networks."

Standard and Poor's announced however that it was putting Disney's long-term 'A' corporate credit rating and short-term 'A-1' rating on credit watch with negative implications.

"In our view, Disney may need to issue debt to supplement its cash for this transaction," the ratings company said.

Marvel is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year. It was founded in 1939 as comic book publisher Timely Comics.

Besides comics, Marvel characters also feature in movies, animated features, videogames and toys such as action figures.
